The Stupidity of Some Women

So my wife and I are watching the Bachelorette...and yeah...  I've never really liked Jillian.  The way she talks is a blend of Valley-Girl meets Canadian Mounty and it gets under my skin.  But still, she seemed like a classy woman with a good head on her shoulders...but as this season has drawn on, she's down-right stupid.

First, I'll comment on Ed.  Ed's a good guy.  And a few episodes ago, he bailed out of the show because he had what I thought was a legitimate excuse:  He was going to get fired from his job if he stayed on the show.  Now, I know there are the women out there that believe you should do anything you have to do for love.  Fair enough.  However, in this economy I think a man needs to do whatever he needs to do to keep his career moving!  I thought his choice to save his career was an awesome choice and I respected him for it - it's a tough decision.  Let's be honest - how many women out there would marry a man that didn't have a job?  So Jillian completely wigs out and rags on him relentlessly for the remainder of that episode and can't understand how a man would do that to her and that he's totally screwing her over and blah blah blah.  At the time, I turned to my wife and said "If he stays, he has no guarantee, right?  I mean, he has a 1 in 8 chance of being with her in the end anyway."  Say what you will, but Ed made the right choice.  I've noticed with Jillian that when things go well and the guys swoon over her, her life is just great.  But if one little thing doesn't go her way, she's a crying, sobbing, stuck-up little princess that isn't getting her way.  And every time she says the same thing, "Maybe I should just call it quits because it never works for me".  Boo hoo, biotch!  But when things are good, she's so noble and says things like, "But I know this is a process, and if it wasn't hard, I don't think it would be right".  Yeah, so really, it's the Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde type of thing going on with her.

Second, Wes.  That guy is the biggest sleaze I think I've ever seen on one of these shows.  He admits to the other guys he has a chick at home and completely admits to the guys and the camera that he's just here for the publicity, and if he gets the girl, then cool.  I honestly don't know if I've ever met a more completely morally inept man in my life.  But the kicker is last nights episode when Jake, a REALLY super-nice guy, comes back to tell Jillian about Wes' girlfriend.  He even opens the conversation saying "I don't want a rose, I don't want back on the show.  I just think there are some things about Wes you need to know."  So he tells her about Wes' girlfriend, and even provides her name AND proceeds to tell Jillian the fake story Wes is going to give her about this girlfriend being an Ex and all that.  To make this long story short, Jake confronts Wes right in front of Jillian, telling Wes to look him in the eye and tell him he doesn't have a girlfriend, and Wes can't do it, and keeps looking at Jillian saying "He's lying".  Jillian sees all of this happening.  Then SHE even makes the comment "I don't know who to trust.  Do I trust the perfect all-american nice guy (Jake), or the country-western singer (Wes)?"  DUH!!!  You just answered your own question!!!  In the end, this completely stupid and inept woman decides to disregard Jake's warnings and she believes Wes.  To top it off, Wes is the classic jerk-of-a-guy that says that crap like "I'm actually upset you're asking me about this again.  I told you I didn't want to talk about this again".  What man, who is head over heals for a woman, is going to ORDER her around?  To me, even if I had never known about his girlfriend or that he was there for his music, by the things he's said himself, this dude is bad news.  Jillian is the world's biggest twit for not even being able to see it.  Heck, she even said at the beginning of the season, "I always fall for the bad guys".  LAWLZ.  Yeah - well if you KNOW you do something and it keeps screwing you over, THEN STOP IT!  Any guy who has to tell you over and over and over "I'm not a good liar" - Yeah, HE'S LYING!!!  Unbelievable.

I have no respect for her whatsoever anymore.  Watching the tail-end of this show is now torture - not just because of watching her and knowing how stupid she is, but now I'm so afraid for all the nice, good-guys left that might end up with her, and I just want them to RUN RUN RUN as fast as they can to get away from a dumb mental patient like her.  Amazing.  Truly amazing.  I sincerely hope that all the women out there watching this show are taking notes. 

Government Healthcare And The Idiots Behind It

You HAVE to read this article.  If you want a clear window into how completely inept and deceitful our government is, read this article.  Even if you have never read any other political blog entry I've written or other articles I've linked to, READ THIS ONE.  The first 3 opening paragraphs will give you all the evidence you need of how pathetic our government truly is.  And these aren't opinions.  The first 3 paragraphs are mostly quotes directly from the guys running this country.

My own thoughts?  Government Healthcare will run this country into the ground.  If you read the stats at the bottom of the article, NO COUNTRY enjoys government healthcare.  In fact, I read an article a couple of months ago where people were fleeing Sweden after they implemented government healthcare.

Our Prayers Are With You

A tragic event happened in my close uncle's family yesterday.  My cousin Brian passed away.  For more detailed information on what happened, please visit this link:  http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=148&sid=6764721

This has sparked a lot of conversations between me and my wife, as well as with my other siblings and their spouses, and the underlying feeling is how trivial all of life's little issues truly are compared something like this.  Things that we are stressed about on a day-to-day basis seem to be washed away, and our focus on what is important in life is adjusted when tragedy's like this happen.  It's a shame that we even forget in the first place.

To quote one of my favorite songs, "Living in the pools we soon forget about the sea".  I think we need to do better to constantly stay focused on the larger, more important things in life.  

Our prayers will be with Brian's wife and daughter (and the baby on the way) as well with the rest of the Cardall family.

Thus Endeth the Man Code

So last night on the Bachelorette Dave was finally ousted.  I must say I was disappointed in the episode, simply because Dave didn’t get a lot of air time.  I was so eager to hear more junk come out of that guys mouth.  Near the end of the show, when Jillian confronted them all about who had a boyfriend, I was half expecting him to say “Whoever has a boyfriend, I’m going to go hang you over the side of the &$*%’ing building and beat the living @#!$ out of you!”, but he didn’t.

The best I was able to get from Dave (which was awesome) was when he had his 1 on 1 time with Jillian and completely made himself look like a circus freak.  I don’t think I’ve ever seen a guy be so fowl and crude TO THE WOMAN HE WAS TRYING TO IMPRESS as he was to Jillian.  So even though I wasn’t able to see his testosterone-driven comments towards the other guys, at least, for one last time, his true identity did shine forth during his last appearance on the show.

Dave – continue to honor the Man Code, and keep on keepin’ on.  There are plenty of other girly-boys out there like Juan that need educating.

I salute you!

 

The Man Code

I’m an amazing husband.  Season after season I watch the Bachelor and Bachelorette with my wife.  Oh, I know – all the women out there are drooling over how completely awesome I am – but ladies…I’m taken. 

So after watching all these shows for a few years now, I’ve finally been rewarded for my selflessness.  How have I been rewarded?  But this guy right here:

 Dave.  What a real man.  This dude is a MAN’S MAN!  He’s all about telling it how it is and keeping it real, all the while following the unwritten “Man Code”.  Never you mind the fact that he makes himself look like a total jacker during all his tirades…He’s the real deal.  He makes all other men look like little ol’ ladies while they gawk at him as he’s keepin’ it real.

 With phrases like, “I’d love to tie that guy to a tree an beat the $#&@ outta him” and “That dude needs to be dragged to a $#@&in’ lake and &%#$in’ drowned”, he’s climbing his way up the Man Code ladder and may soon be able to topple even the great Chuck Norris himself.  The day when Dave really started to set himself apart from the other girls on the show was the day Juan dumped out his glass of booze, and faked a toast and a shot – and even the choking afterwards – and Dave immediately piped up with “Dude – he’s breaking the Man Code!!”, while staring in disbelief that ANY man would dare trash the Man Code, as if it would bring shame down on their family for generations to come.  Ever since that shining moment, Dave has proven himself to be the Wild Tiger caged up with feeble mice, uttering timeless phrases such as “Juan – just go back inside” while Juan stood there for a second looking like a group of bullies were teasing him at recess back in the 7th grade.  His testosterone is unparalleled on this earth.  I dare say even the Lions, yes, the very King of Beasts, would cower in humility to Dave and his overpowering Man Code which radiates from him like a wide-open fire hose.  What’s even more impressive and powerful is when all this manliness isn’t quite enough, all Dave needs to do is get a little liquored up and where he once was a fire hose, he’s now a raging river of brightly shining man essence for all around to bask in!

 Others have blogged that they’re disappointed that Jillian has kept him on for another week.  But for me, I’m eagerly looking forward to another week of being blown away at how womanly I am next to this true Man among men.   Jillian will probably be booting him shortly, but until then there will be a smile on my face and I’ll be eagerly awaiting more manly garbage to spew from this jack-nugget’s mouth.
